I have a 2013 328i, it has been a great car. It's currently at 130k miles and certainly has had some minor problems but they were easy 1-2 hour fixes with basic tools.

The electronic wastegate actuator went out at about 90k. Something like 2 screws, a connector and reusing the old linkage per BMW instructions.

The upstream O2 sensor went out not long after, but that's a typical failure on any turbo car of that age.

I changed the motor mounts at about 120k because the hot side one was sagging a little.

The radiator had a small leak that would lose about a pint every 3 months, changed it for $125 and was the easiest radiator I’ve ever replaced. It has a self bleed procedure that took no special tools to fill or bleed.

The floor mats were starting to show a little wear so I got some new ones this summer...

The yearly cost of leasing/owning a brand new BMW is absolutely absurd. The delta between new and used BMW more than pays for my airplane.
